Bill > S4112

This bill permits plenary winery license holders, out-of-State winery license holders, and farm winery license holders to sell wine by the glass for consumption in their licensed salesrooms, as long as the salesroom is not located on the premises of a restaurant. The bill defines "by the glass" as selling an individual portion of wine, or wine mixed with non-alcoholic beverages, in an open container. Specifically, the legislation modifies existing New Jersey alcohol licensing laws to expand the sales options for wineries with certain production volume limits. Wineries that produce up to 250,000 gallons per year will now be allowed to sell individual glasses of wine in their off-site salesrooms, providing an additional revenue stream and more flexible purchasing options for consumers. This change applies to both New Jersey-based wineries and out-of-state wineries with New Jersey licenses, giving them more opportunities to engage directly with customers and potentially increase sales. The bill aims to provide more flexibility for smaller wineries while maintaining existing regulations about production volume and licensing requirements.
